Looks like a crocea; it will color up real nice under your MHs.

If it has been sitting in lower light than your setup color up will occur immediately and in the coming weeks. Also, crocea clams are rock dwellers so it needs to sit in the rock so it can attach.

It's okay if the mantle touches a rock a little, if you have room to move it why not.
